Too lazy to look but it would have to be extraordinarily rare for a team (Dallas in this instance) with the 10th ranked ORTG and 18th DRTG (or worse combinations) to win the Finals.

Boston is ranked 1st and 3rd respectively.
I don't think that really tells the whole story for Dallas. Things changed a lot for them (for the better) after the trade deadline. I think they actually had the #1 defense in the league since then (heard that on Windhorst's pod) and they had the #1 clutch offensive rating in the league this year. So if the games are close, I would bet on Dallas. Assuming Mavs/Celtics does happen, I think the Mavs win in 7.

So if both series are sweeps. The Western Conference game 4 is tomorrow and the NBA finals won't start until the scheduled Thursday June 6th date. (even if both conf. finals are over)

We’re really about to have a parade for either Dallas, Boston, and NYC or Dallas in hockey.

Not even saying this as a joke... but I saw an article about the finals and had completely forgot the NBA playoffs were still going on for a minute.

I don't get why 50 years ago when you had shittier travel you could start a playoff series in another coast 2 or 3 days later, but in 2024 you need to help 'travel issues' by setting a specific date for the start and ignore when the previous playoff series ended.

Taxed 'em.
Won't be this easy all series but this C's starting lineup is the best since the '17 Warriors.
Luka/Kyrie have to overwhelm this lineup with pure shotmaking to win.

It's possible.

C's loadmanaging their 3rd best player in the Finals and still might sweep.
A good GM builds teams like this. A bad GM gives out guaranteed years to PJ Tucker.

Brad has only been the gm for 2 seasons though. He is a very good basketball mind be it. Daryl isnt bad, i think he maybe a bit overhyped.

This Celtics team is unique. I only went back 20 seasons but they seem to be most closely related to the 2013-14 Spurs. But this Celtics team has an all time dominant offense while not having a generational offensive talent.
